tl»«* plan «»f the Southern Pacific to build
tlie California-N«»rtheaatern to Kl»«inath
Fall«, which was tin* r««ilte of the pr«»*
|MN»r«l r<»ad. But the b<»uth«*rn Facifi«*
will n«»t stop at that |x»int. If the route
of th«« California* Northeastern from
Wee«!, on the main line «4 the Southern
Pacific, is produml it will lie found to
run in a northeasterly direction ami
meet th«« Oregon Short Line <»f the
Southern Pacific al Huntington. This
road will completely open up the heart
of < hegoD.
This move on th«* part of the Southern
Pacific has completly outwitted the
Hill outflit. The plan of Hill was to
build a road called the San Francisco,
Idaho and Montana, which it to start at
Butte, Mont., and run in a southwest
erly direction through Salmon City,
Boise (Idaho) and on down to Kan
Franciaco. Tbit line would oj»en up a
new stretch of territory an«l would afford
a d«*rided cut-off for travel from the
northwest, now reaching San Francisco
by way of Portland.
The plana of the Southern Pacific will
not lx* change«! *o far as the Natron
branch ia concerned. It i* poeeible,
though not probable, that a line may
run from Klamath Falla to Huntington.
Thia ia t»eing conaidered, but not aer-
ioualy, for the reason that the Oregon
Eastern to Ontario, which connects
with the Natron Klamath Falls lineal
or near the Fort, will answer the pur-
|x»ee of the Huntington line.
Appropes to the proposed Lakeview
connection, it can l»e stated poeitively
that it will l»e built. Mr. Swarthout, to

Another Company
Enters the Field
Between Here and Poke^ama
The Klamath Fail* and Fokvgaina
Transfer Company is the name «»f a new
coiHvni that this week enters the fie|«i
tor the tran*{«ortation i freight between
l‘ kegama and Klamath Falls.
The
«»tfirer* are: W. L. McCorinick. mana
ger and contracting agent, Klamath
Falls; C. p. Xrw t«»n, agent at Pokega-
nia: B. E. Joy, agent at Thrall.
Thi- company is the creature of neves-
-ity. du«- to tl ♦ c«»ntinue«l congestion of
freight at P >kegama.
The Klamath
Like railroad has >«een promptly deliv
ering freight at F«»kvgaina. but the rer
vice Iwtween that |s»int and this city
has been insufficient to meet the glow
ing traffic.
While the new company
has no c*>nne<*ti«»n whatever with the
railroad cHinpanv and n<» discrimination
will lie made in its favor, its entrance
into the field has l»een enc«»uraged in or
der to increase the tian-portation facili-
ti?s. and relieve the warehouses at Po-
kegarna of the immense quantities of
freight that constantly accumulates
there.
Mr. McCormick will have his office in
this city, and will make contract* for
the tra isjK»rtat.on of freight in any
quantity, whether for special or regular
delivery at rates as low as the lowest.
HIGH

W ith an Enrollment Double That of
Last Year.
VISITORS DEPART
The fourth year of the Klamath High
School liegan last Monday, and marked
a decided increase in the numlier of
pupils over one year ago, and of its orig
inal t>eginning when Prof. Swan mount
ed the rostrum to instruct a lonely
quartette of young people.
This year
the attendance is 58, and it is expected
that this numlier will be greatly in
creased in the next few months.
The faculty is composed of Prof. J. G.
Swan, principal; Prof. XV. E. Faught,
assistant, and professor of the commer
cial department and Miss Alice Apple
gate.
The commercial department seems to
be popular, and is undoubtedly a wise
departure.
Quite a numlier of stud
ents have already entered, and as it be
comes systematized and thoroughly or*,
ganiaed, it will have a large |iercent of
the attendance of the institution.
